Seems like they are working on a guide to install Proxmox on a plain Debian Squeeze: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Squeeze I would feel much, much, *much* safer if Proxmox would be just a package for Debian and i could get all the software from the Debian repos, but i guess having an install cd and calling it a distribution can have its marketing purposes. I chose to go with the install cd i downloaded off their website since usually guides like the one i linked always cause issues, but i admit i did not try the procedure. Anyway, from what i can see, the 2.0 interface works like a charm and i had no trouble setting up a couple VMs just to play with: I'm really impressed! Having something like this on the official Debian repo would be immensely great for the community and all of the softwares involved. -- Davide Mirtillo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
